Thank you for supporting our ministries! LOOKING AHEAD… 5 EPIPHANY STARS Back in early January, we celebrated Epiphany Sunday. Everyone was invited to receive a star with a word on it. That word was a gift for refection throughout the year. When you received your word, you were encouraged to think and pray about it, and pay attention to the world around you in relation to your word. The stars are a way for us to open ourselves to an epiphany experience: one in which the light of God shines in and we fnd new meaning, insight, calling, or inspiration. Here are some questions for refection: how do you feel about your word? Do you like it or do you wish you had another? Why do you react to it as your do? Have you asked God to use your word as a window, helping you to see or experience something this year. On Epiphany Sunday, January 5, 2020, you will have an opportunity to share something about your experience this year with your word if you like. If you didn’t get a star and would like one, please contact Rev. Nancy Mikoski at [email protected]. PRAYING FOR PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ONE COUNTRY AT A TIME UNITED ARAB EMIRATES This week we are praying for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), located in the Middle East between Oman and Saudi Arabia and bordering the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. Abu Dhabi is the UAE’s capital. The equator runs through the southern part of the UAE. Summer months are the hottest and temperatures over 110 have been recorded. The people of UAE are known as Emiratis. There are approximately 9.7 million people living in the UAE, and immigrants (including expatriate workers) make up more than 88% of the total population. The small minority of the population who are citizens receive certain perks not available to other residents, including tax breaks and monetary transfers. Life expectancy is 78.7 years. The literacy rate is 93% for males and 96% for females. Women account for about 70 per cent of all university graduates and fll around two-thirds of government jobs. While Arabic is the ofcial language, many residents of the UAE also speak English and guest workers most often speak languages from which they originated, including Hindi, Mulayam, Urdu, Pashto, Tagalog, and Persian. Islam is the UAE’s ofcial religion, claimed by 76% of the population. Smaller segments of the population (each under 10%) claim Christianity, Hindu and Buddhist adherence. While the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates provides for freedom of religion, and the government generally respects this right in practice, there are restrictions that signifcantly restrict missionary activity.

  • UVA LAW | Fed Soc- Hamilton Event
    UVA LAW | Fed Soc- Hamilton Event INTERVIEWER: Welcome, everyone, to our last event of the semester, "An Original Document For Every Song InH amilton." Today, we're honored to be joined by Judge Charles Eskridge of the US district court for the Southern District of Texas. Judge Eskridge was appointed to the bench in 2019. He also serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston Law Center, teaching on the origins of the Constitution and as a member of the American Law Institute. JUDGE Thank you. Thank you very much, and I'm so glad to be here and to have had the invitation to speak to the CHARLES University of Virginia. I have done this presentation on Hamilton many times at many different law schools, and I ESKRIDGE: have to say that doing it for the University of Virginia, which has obviously such a close connection to Thomas Jefferson but also geographically to James Madison and George Washington, that plays such a big role, each of them in this show, that this really does have extra meaning for me. So now, I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm obsessed withH amilton, but I was all over the soundtrack when it came out. And then-- let me get the share screen started here. And then, my wife noticed a Facebook meme that year and said it applied to me. My thoughts have been replaced by Hamilton lyrics, and it was not just a few lyrics, mind you. 20,520 words to be precise. That works out to about 140 words per minute in the show.

Es una lectura esencial para quienes estén luchando con el tema clave de lo que la iglesia puede y debe llegar a ser.» Martin Robinson, autor de Planting Mission-Shaped Churches Today «Se trata de una contribución provocativa y profunda al descubrimiento de una actuación misional eficaz en la cultura occidental de la post cristiandad. Fundamentado en la experiencia propia de Alan como pastor misionero e ilustrado con ejemplos de varios lugares, Caminos olvidados equipa y desafía a las iglesias emergentes y heredadas a que recuperen la dinámica de un movimiento misional.» Stuart Murray Williams, autor de Church After Christendom y de Changing Mission:Learning from Newer Churches. «Nos encontramos de nuevo en el año 30 AD.

    The Use of Videos in the Prevention of Chagas Disease in Ecuador A thesis presented to the faculty of the Center for International Studies of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Julia C. Nogueira August 2008 2 This thesis titled The Use of Videos in the Prevention of Chagas Disease in Ecuador by JULIA C. NOGUEIRA has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Rafael Obregon Associate Professor of Telecommunications Betsy J. Partyka Director, Latin American Studies Daniel Weiner Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT NOGUEIRA, JULIA C., M.A., August 2008, Latin American Studies The Use of Videos in the Prevention of Chagas Disease in Ecuador (148 pp.) Director of Thesis: Rafael Obregon More than 20 million people in the world are infected with Chagas disease in 18 Latin American countries, and 50,000 people die a year from the illness. Since there is no vaccine for Chagas and the cure is only effective in rare cases, prevention is fundamental to combat the disease. Different health communication theories present ways to achieve behavior change, but little has been done regarding Chagas. And the existent educational materials and videos were not produced following health communication theories. Due to the lack of awareness and proper educational materials dedicated to Chagas, this thesis created a series of preventative public service announcements and an educational video. To guarantee they were adequate to the target audience’s needs and capability of action, the videos were pre-tested with 129 community members from Ecuador.

  • Bethany Marie Gilliam Dissertation
    The Monstrous Guide to Madrid: The Grotesque Mode in the Novels of the Villa y Corte (1599-1657) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bethany Marie Gilliam Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Professor Elizabeth B. Davis, Advisor Professor Jonathan Burgoyne Professor Emeritus Donald Larson Copyright by Bethany Marie Gilliam 2014 Abstract This dissertation examines the relationship between the literary grotesque mode and the growing pains of Madrid during the first century of its status as Villa y Corte, capital of the Spanish empire. The six novels analyzed in this study – Guzmán de Alfarache (1599, 1604), El Buscón (1626), Guía y avisos de forasteros (1620), Las harpías en Madrid (1633), El diablo cojuelo (1641) and El Criticón (1651, 1653, 1657) – are significant because their authors employ the grotesque mode to show their perspectives on the changes that they witnessed in Madrid. The central goal of this project is to examine the continued presence of the grotesque mode in these novels and how the use of this mode was motivated by the historical crisis that took place during the years following Philip II’s decision to move the court to Madrid. In this vein, Philip Thomson recognizes that moments of change are particularly conducive to the use of the grotesque in art and literature. Using studies on the grotesque by Thomson, Wolfgang Kayser, Henryk Ziomek, James Iffland and Paul Ilie, this dissertation will present a definition of the grotesque mode as it applies to a carefully chosen grouping of seventeenth-century Spanish novels.

Fueger 2009 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled DECEPTION AND TRUTH: THE USE OF LETTERS IN THE COMEDIES OF IRIARTE AND MORATIN presented by Kathleen M. Fueger, a candidate for the degree of doctor of philosophy, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor Michael Ugarte Professor George Justice Professor Charles Presberg Professor Ana Rueda Professor John Zemke This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of my mother, Jane Fife, who instilled in me a love of reading, and to my husband, John Fueger, for his steadfast encouragement and support. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am, first and foremost, profoundly grateful to the members of my doctoral committee. Professor Michael Ugarte, the supervisor of the committee, has been unwavering in his encouragement throughout the dissertation process and has been instrumental in helping me see perspectives I otherwise would not have considered. His comments have helped me complete not only this project but have led me to consider new approaches for future research. Professors George Justice, Charles Presberg and John Zemke provided comments and suggestions that have likewise permitted me to better this study and to consider aspects of epistolarity that encompass the literature of other epochs and regions.

  • Final Dissertation 05-03-2016
    Cultivating literacies of access and liberation: A case study on the use of oral language, hybrid literacies, and culture in the 21st century Jennifer Kathleen Johnson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Jennifer Kathleen Johnson All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cultivating literacies of access and liberation: A case study on the use of oral language, hybrid literacies, and culture in the 21st century Jennifer Kathleen Johnson This multi-year critical ethnographic study examined the development and use of oral languages, and academic, digital, and critical literacies among high school debaters who participated in the Ivy League Debate Institute (ILDI), an intense academic apprenticeship for low-income Black and Brown youth attending public high schools in a large northeastern city. The study documented and analyzed a high school intervention that sought to foster powerful readers, writers, speakers, and engaged citizens through critical debate education that embraces new literacies, critical theory, empirical research, community-based literacies, and Hip-Hop culture. In addition to documenting the language and literacy practices of the majority of students participating in the apprenticeship during an eight week summer workshop, the research also followed a subset of ILDI students over the course of three years as they participated in after school trainings, weekend debate tournaments, public presentations, and researched and practiced at summer debate institutes. Drawing upon African American literacies and rhetoric(s) and sociocultural and critical education theories, this research investigated the role of critical debate in the development of participants’ academic literacies, civic engagement, and identities.
